Since that's basically the best fuel economy your going to get, 90-95. I thought the truck he was talking about was the 2011 Silverado, with the 5.3L V8?I forget how old AB's truck is, the new GMs may hit 11s on a trip like that. For a truck, I've basically come to accept that when I do buy one, the average will be in the 14s, Anything better will be gravy.My friend claims he's averaging around 12s with his new Tacoma.

On my trip to Edmonton earlier this month I averaged 6.2 L /100kms in the Versa. Average highway speed was probably around 110-115 kph, at which the antidelluvian 4-speed A/T keeps the engine turning at 2600 rpm more or less. According to the review on here that's much less than the new Honda Fit with CVT that apparently winds out at 3800 rpm at 120 kph.

jeep is still at 12.0L...it was up to 12.4, but then i was in stop and go traffic... it's crazy... just the shape kills efficiency at high speeds, so it's better to be stuck in traffic than to be bootin it on the highway.
